LOL @ calling out LLTQ for being trial and error and not DS. Sorry but 90% of the difficulty in DS is ignorance. Once you know what's up, everything is super easy. Yeah, you can handle stuff decently well before you know, but that's all a matter of battling/balancing your own incredible boredom with scouting things safely. I really don't see how developed combat skill is a thing in DS.
how is it trial and error? if every time you play you learn more and advance more, to the point that you can extrapolate what you need and build your character certain way and get certain ending, what I have done.
Let's stop beating around the bush, maybe it's too much effort required for some people, but that's not game's fault.
also LLTQ is no different that any other VN, until you haven't seen all endings, you haven't beat the game. If you've seen one or two, you barely started. And until you beat the game, you can't know for sure that it is trial and error, let alone playing one route with a guide. Isn't that so?

that's skill: skill of ability to understand and comprehend, also persevere, so 3 skills!

That's more complex than a lot of games these days, to be fair.
Knowing when to roll and when to use your i-frames, knowing the strenghts and weaknesses of various move sets.
Make no mistake, it's very easy to man motte Dark Souls, excelling at combat on the other hand requires time and patience.
Same as with Vanquish, they give you the tools but it's up to you to find the depth.

I want to include Resident Evil 6 in this for the same reasons.
I was joking... It's more complex than any VN that I know of. If you know more complex, gimme them! names I mean and where all choices matter.

Wasn't Princess Maker 2 more complex?

I don't see how you are disagreeing with me. Knowledge won't save you in DMC, Bayonetta, or God Hand, where you need real execution ability. Sure, compared to other RPGs DS is a step up, but it is doing jack shit on the skill-based action front. It remains very firmly in the RPG camp where knowledge is the difficulty and knowledge is your win. Since that is the case, and knowledge comes by testing and experience, it is much like LLTQ.
Okay, so why don't you go read up on MvsC3 and beat Justin Wong.
Okay so when you intentionally reject a massive portion of the game in order to completely transform the gameplay dynamics after becoming comprehensively familiar with the game so the element of knowledge is obsolete, then it is focused on skill? You aren't doing much to prove what it's design is, only what it can be made into. Don't know why you would scrap around to make it more interesting like that when other games are far more compelling for that type of gameplay anyway.

I am going to make it through this year if it kills me
Fooking acronyms.
That's an understatement
Really? Knowledge doesn't mean you'll execute it flawlessly, c'mon you're better than that...
In case it's needed: I'm implying Dark Souls also relies on the player's ability to perform.
Edit: I also like how you completely ignored everything else I said in that post.
Why don't you try playing tetris on max difficulty? They literally tell you the next block that is coming

That's actually an insult, that's like saying that DMC is like pacman or even better like GoW.
but I really have to get back to work, because I had so much fun with this discussion, I haven't done much today (><)
I need to finish that too, but it's not like LLTQ, actually, not taking anything from that game, it's good.

just installed my new AOC 144hz g-sync monitor. Should I set screen refresh rate in Display settings to 144hz or does it not matter?
Played a bit of Wolfenstein to test g-sync. My 770 feels GODLIKE now.

I think you mix skills with traits, would you call empathy a skill?that's skill: skill of ability to understand and comprehend, also persevere, so 3 skills!
That or you won't acknowledge what others are telling you, wich makes for a poor discussion, it could be another game (as I previously said: Vanquish) and I'd still defend it the same.
Reading and understanding are different things, you clearly won't put your personal feelings for the game aside.

It is when you use sorceries. New Game+ has been a complete joke with Intelligence at 50 and Logan's Catalyst.
skill is the ability to do something well, so yeah, basically everything you can learn to do and later learn to do even better is a skill. Trait is characteristic, it's not measurable, well, not entirely, but that's how language works, nothing is 100% defined.
The rescue 10 Damsel achievement in spelunky is such a pain in the ass. I'm always getting to like 7 or 8 before something crazy happens and I die. Ughh fucking Spelunky! Game is such a rage simulator.
Never tried it that way but I believe it works the other way around. If you have it on steam you can copy the product key and activate it on Origin.
So I got Dead Space for free on Origin from that on the house deal, and today I got idea to add the game on Steam since they have there also, I look up the product code on my origin profile and put in on Steam, didnt work.
Is this intended?

There's a reason why magic is shunt by the Soul's community, everyone knows it.
As I previously said: it's very easy to man motte it, harder to excel in combat.
Skill is something that can be had in variable degrees, a trait is something that one either has or he doesn't.
You either understand something or you don't, there's no middle ground.
And before you say "You can understand it a bit/in different degrees": there's a reason for the word "misunderstood", if you misunderstand something then you don't understand it.

Dark Souls is so good it hurts me physically... or maybe it hurts that I played over eight hours in one sitting yesterday till 7:30am :O
Cleared out the Depths & Blighttown together with Capra Demon & Gaping Dragon. GP took me three tries but once I got him, my hands were literally shaking lol.
Blighttown was to my surprise much easier than expected.
Those freaking frogs in the Depths though... cursed me two times and I lost 14k souls for good. The biggest amount ever.

I'll be trying a sorcerer build in my next playthrough, just for the hell of it. First co-op(I was conjured) experience near Gwyn was with a sorcerer that decimated the guy before I even entered the gate.
That's not true, understanding has degrees, even literature uses it, as in deep understanding or fleeting understanding or barely understanding and there is no more pure language than literary. Misunderstood means to understand in a wrong way, usually contrary, that has nothing to do with levels of understanding.

I guess they should just shun everything then because sword and shield is easy too if you pick a decent sword and build stats around it and understand the concept of stability with shields.
So Onimusha 3 is back on Steam only in Canada. I assume this is a brief appearance so get it while you can if you want it https://steamdb.info/app/6570/
Freedom = $1.05

i didn't even know that it got pulled. Weird.

I'll wait for the HD trilogy release
You mean the one that won't have Onimusha 2
Not that 2 is bad, but the MC is modeled after a real life actor.

They'll replace him with a generic samurai
or pixelate his face

not funny, Ningen!
how is that a possibility?
Yeah I don't quite understand it. I don't think there could have been a licencing issue. The game is pretty wonky and needs a fair bit of modding to get working, so maybe that has something to do with it.
I'll wait for the HD trilogy release
Of course this is also a possibility. Or John Reno wants his face back
Misunderstood means "to not understand the true meaning" and there are no levels of understanding, you either do or don't.
Everything else are deturpations the word and its meaning has suffered over the years, and we know authors like to pervert words in theirs works, do it enough and it'll be a common thing.
Edit: I find it amusing how this turned out to be the debate of the eyes x)
Do you deal 600 damage with swords with no draw back? You'll also eventually lose all your stamina and become staggered suffering critical damage, does the same happen with a caster who's not dumb enough to be in melee range?
Don't be quick to post.
I feel you. I must have lost around 60k in that damn Sen's Fortress :/
Damn, now I want to play Dark Souls again.
And you somehow are an expert in language and meaning of words? You created it?
Gosh I hate language arguments, they make everybody look so entitled and clueless (><)
We'll agree to disagree? Deal?
That's because those are people that actually existed. Both games are set more or less in a fanstsy version of the Sengoku era in Japan.

Cast times aren't that fast and many bosses can either hit you with attacks in lock-on range or close the gap almost immediately. Also you have a limited number of casts of each spell and no way to refill them mid-boss. Woah, sorcery has some potential downsides too.
When I got that achievement I went through the tower and the mothership to get those 2 damsels.
Don't go through the worm, you skip 1 possible level of damsel.
Also don't try for hell. Save up that ankh for a death so you can get the cheevo more easily.
